It's amazing that they care so much about one union and so little about another. What's even more amazing is that the one they care about is the EU and the one they don't care about is the UK, rather than the other way round.

It's not impossible that soft leavers will start to come around, the longer this goes on. Especially if no deal is the only alternative. We're just discussing revoking article 50 here, without any more depth than that — some might accept revocation if it came with an agreement to hold another referendum in 10 years.

We need to start using the term “leavers” to describe the vast majority of people who voted leave but are still reasonable people who believe in democracy and the rule of law, and “brexiteers” to describe the extremists. So I agree with you - that should read “leavers” not “brexiteers”.

I mean, correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t there actual polls that objectively prove this (assuming 'a lot' can be broadly agreed upon)? Unlike, say, Kwasi Kwarteng's assertion that many people think judges are biased which, as far as I’m aware, was based on his opinion.
